Burton 'Pete' Jacobs Sr. It is with deep sorrow that we grieve the passing of Burton "Pete" Jacobs Sr. on Monday, April 7th at his home in Derby Line. Pete was born on September 2nd, 1944 in Holland, Vermont to Burton and Josephine Jacobs. A few years later, after the war had ended, and when the family continued to grow, they would move to Derby Line. This was a two-fold decision, improving the educational needs as well as expected employment opportunities in post war Vermont. Derby Line is where Pete chose to live out the remainder of his long life and raise his own family.

Pete is survived by his loving wife Kim, his daughters Kathy (Tom) Patenaude and Ashley Jacobs, his son Burton Jr., his 6 grandchildren and 6 great grandchildren. Also left to mourn him are sisters Florence Joyal, MaryJane (Tom)Tetreault and brothers Maurice, Arthur, Dennis and their families. He was predeceased by brothers Jim and Conrad, along with sisters Joyce (Christino) and Buella (Shattuck).

Pete and his siblings all enjoyed the great outdoors and spent many decades at the family camp in Newark,"Home Camp", is where you could find them just getting away, either fishing during the spring and summer months and then hunting deer, then later in their lives moose and turkeys in the fall. He spent over three decades working for the State of Vermont Department of Transportation (DOT), maintaining the highways, bridges and equipment in both Orleans and Essex counties. In retirement his days were full of staying busy pursuing his hobbies of fishing, canoeing, mowing lawns at both "Home Camp" and his home, riding his motorcycle or just helping his son at his garage, just outside of Derby Line.

Per "Pistol's" wishes there will be no calling hours, and his ashes will be spread at the convenience of the family. A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
